Friendliest staff in cape town. Great value for money. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the place and the facilities available.
I will definitely come back

Everything is fine. You can go long st by walk. It takes just 5 minutes. If you want to stay calm in hostel, this one will be perfect! But if you want to enjoy party in hostel, take another one. But you know you can enjoy a night at long street! : )

Amber Tree Lodge was one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. Well stocked kitchen, nice lounge area and friendly staff. The only negative was the toilets smelled strongly of urine for the few days I was there.

What can I say. The Amber Tree Lodge is a golden gem of a packpackers! Stephen, Wayne and Jo have been wonderful hosts, and are never short of ideas or local advice to make sure we made the most of the local restaurants and great attractions which are all mostly within walking distance of the hostel. Amber Tree is a great way to see Cape Town, and is perfectly ideal if you like a quite nights sleep but also plenty of fun within miunets of your front door. Look no further, Amber Tree is awesome!

The hostel was really lovely. The atmosphere was nice. My only downside was that the dorm was tiny. It was hard to even find a place to put your bag! Other than that it was great. Very clean, the staff were helpful and it was pretty cheap.

Although this hostel delivered pretty much on everything (great staff, location etc.), for us it lacked an atmosphere of a typical hostel as there was almost no one handing out in the common areas hence we didn't get to know other people. Apart from that - great place to stay to explore the city
